Great upgrade of the original 3DS

Since the New 3DS has not yet appeared in Europe I had to import goods from Australia grab (229 EUR Price does not include shipping).
This version of the New 3DS is fully compatible with all available in Europe 3DS or DS games. German / Austrian E Shop as well as data transfer from the old device to function with the help of a little trick also (at the end read more). Charger of the German 3DS can be used.

Handheld based on the following things in:

4GB MicroSD, which is already used. Because the memory card is located under the cover the bottom, you need to change a screwdriver
6x AR cards
Quick Reference Guide
Manual

The device is slightly larger than the 3DS and feels too high. Due to the slightly larger construction it was not possible for me to use my old accessories on (steering wheel, bag, loading dock)
From the handle produces the larger design is the playing comfort to Good. Even now there are more controls on the unit. These are two additional shoulder buttons and a sort of mini stick (C-stick) on the right side. Especially in games like Resident Evil Revelations the thumbstick facilitates camera work enormously. As a full-fledged replacement of Schiebpads or even analog sticks may be the C-stick but not see.
In addition to the new controls, Nintendo has also changed the layout. The Start and Select button are now on the right side under the 4 action buttons. The card slot, pen holder and on / off switch is now located on the front side.

Not only outwardly different from the New 3DS 3DS, also the interior was upgraded. Due to the new hardware, there will be future games, which are unfortunately no longer compatible with 2DS / 3DS / 3DS XL.
The 3D effect is also greatly improved, allowing due Headtracking a larger viewing angle.
Additionally, there is the Amiibo - support and diverse cover shells which can be placed on the unit.

In my opinion, the New 3ds definitely worth it, especially when such a new device would like to buy.

As noted above, does the German / Austrian Store only with the help of a trick. The real problem is this: the country Austria or Germany, as well as the region as soon as you select during the initial commissioning of the device, an error message appears. This error message prevents access to the eShop and data transfer.
Therefore, first the UK as a country Select (no region). Then restart the eShop. Once you could start the eShop the first time, you can adjust Austria or Germany (always without region) as a country and you have access to the Austrian or German eShop and data transfer.
